it had bottomed a few times onto the fender, but I didnt expect it would blow the seal.

I ordered a set of alls balls seals that I believe will fit, ill post the results and anything I learn in the process.

my brothers first impression of the hawk was, those forks will never hold up to your abuse, guess he was right.

ive never blown a seal from this company so hope they will hold up, better than the originals.
How much of that 15w fork oil did you put in there?
